You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady,
My name's not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And I'm what you might call a heretic
Yes, and I am from Nebraska

My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I've never visited Alaska,
Huh, where the oil was spilled
That drunken captain should be killed

For polluting the sea, an atrocity
But he still walks free, well
This one goes to all the birds that drown

Just ***ed up bull*** too many *** fears an panic
It's time to throw down and so I said it words of
Wisdom that will keep you guessing cause
I'm tired of laying and I'm tired of messing around

Go blast the parasites when they start to spaz

SA:
Nicholas hits hard he's got the jazz
Now the B-boy rocking breakin' moves on the floor
311's stepping loud have them yellin for more
Go on hoping, I'm poetry in motion
When I fire I spray just how I'm hopin'
P-Nut, the bass storm is booming
And in your mouth the rhythm is booming
P to the N to the U to the T

Just *** the has-been's and their stupid-ass rapping
Promising bull*** you can't come through with
Do it in the basement no complacent
It's time to kick the *** in
Begin to win no sin and then
Share it, declare it in the public domain
Refrain
---> Play Riff 3 over:

I'd be perfectly sad if rap was a fad but it's not
So I thought I would come out with a shot
Stupid dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown

That's right, knockin' them down
Nineties, all that
